Not really. he's a very good technical goalie but his rebound control and puck control, especially puck control, is NOT NHL level at all. It was very evident just moments before the second period concluded.

What is with our goalies and ALWAYS sucking at handling the puck. Can these minor league coaches ever teach one of our goalies not to give huge scoring chances by playing the puck like your still in pewee just hit that **** hard.

I'm so tired of Kessel. I don't care how many goals he scores, he gives away multiple possessions just trying to avoid contact. Absolutely hate that stupid little "turn his back at the last second and throw a one-handed swipe at the puck to avoid the contact" move. Also a huge fan of the "oops I took a bad route to the dump-in so I couldn't get to the puck before the defenseman" move. I can't believe the team is built around this guy. He's a specialist.
